Los Tios is a Houston institution, serving up Tex-Mex favorites across multiple locations, with the Memorial location being a prime example. But what exactly is on the Los Tios menu?
This article dives into the delicious and diverse offerings you can find at Los Tios, from breakfast tacos to enchiladas, fajitas, and family-style feasts. Whether you’re craving a quick bite or planning a big gathering, Los Tios has something for everyone.
Breakfast at Los Tios
If you’re an early riser, Los Tios has you covered with a full breakfast menu.
Breakfast Burritos and Plates
You’ll find a variety of breakfast burritos stuffed with eggs, beans, cheese, and your choice of meat. Expect to pay around $7.15 for one of these hearty hand-helds.
If you’re looking for a bigger plate of food, Los Tios has several breakfast plates that will fill you up.
Breakfast Specials and Extras
Los Tios also offers rotating breakfast specials that aren’t on the regular menu, so be sure to ask about those.
You can customize your breakfast with extras such as different salsas, avocado slices, or extra tortillas.
Breakfast Hours
Breakfast is served until 1 p.m., so you can sleep in a little and still get your breakfast fix.
Appetizers, Soups, and Salads
What’s a Tex-Mex meal without a little something to nosh on before the main course? Here are some tasty starters you might want to consider:
Appetizers
The Alice Nachos and Anniversary Nachos are always crowd pleasers, along with the Chile Con Queso, available in both large and small sizes. Or you might want to try the House Guacamole, also offered in two sizes. Don’t overlook Katie’s T-Sip Dip or the Nachos Los Tios, either!
Two additional appetizers you might want to sample are the Ceviche and the Taquitos Dorados.
Soups and Salads
If you’re in the mood for a lighter meal, Tio’s offers Tortilla Soup and Black Bean Soup, both reliable classics.
Salad fans can choose from the Los Tios Salad, the Classic Taco Salad, or the Supermex Bowl.
Tacos: A Los Tios Staple
Tacos, a Tex-Mex staple, are a big draw at Los Tios. You can choose from a wide variety of options, including:
- Golden Taco Plate
- Deluxe Taco Plate
- Street Tacos
- Tacos al Carbon (chicken, beef, or a combination)
If you’re looking for something a little lighter, try the Fresh Fish Tacos.
You can order tacos individually, too. A single Taco Al Carbon is available in chicken, beef, or a combination of both.
All tacos are served on your choice of corn or flour tortillas and are priced at $7.15.
Fajitas and Grilled Specialties
No Tex-Mex menu would be complete without fajitas sizzling with flavor. Tio’s serves up their fajitas in half-pound and full-pound portions with your choice of:
- Beef
- Chicken
- Combo (beef and chicken)
- Veggies
You can also order small or large shrimp fajitas.
If fajitas aren’t your thing, you can choose from other grilled specialties like the Carne Asada Dinner, Smash Burger, Chili Relleno 1970, Diablo Shrimp Dinner, Grilled Chicken Dinner, Grilled Quail Dinner, Grilled Red Fish, Pechuga Monterrey Dinner, and Shredded Pork Tender.
Enchiladas and Platos Especiales
Next up on the TiOS menu: enchiladas and some truly special plates.
Enchilada Variety
When it comes to enchiladas, you’ve got options! Choose from cheese, beef, chicken, spinach, Enchiladas Verdes, or a shrimp enchilada. I’m partial to the Enchiladas Carbon Dinner myself, but you can also build your own custom enchilada plate to get exactly what you want.
Platos Especiales
The platos especiales (special plates) are where things get really interesting. You can try the Acapulco Dinner, the Laredo Dinner, the Meatless Special, or the Tampico Dinner. And don’t forget the Tex Mex Dinner and the always-delicious Chicken Flautas!
Combination Plates and Quesadillas
Tio’s offers a variety of combination plates that allow you to sample several of their specialties. You can select from the listed combinations or create your own custom plate.
If you’re in the mood for a quesadilla, you can choose from:
- Chicken
- Spinach
- Shrimp
- Cheese
- Beef
- Combo
- Shredded Pork
Family-Style Dining at Los Tios
Los Tios offers a ton of family-style options that will feed up to 6 people.
The Bleacher Box gives you a choice of beef, chicken, or a combo. You can also get cheese enchiladas, or fajitas (beef, chicken, or combo) served family style. Los Tios also offers their No. 6 and their street tacos in the family-style format (again with your choice of beef, chicken, or a combo).
Finally, consider the Tex Mex Dinner, where you can choose beef carbon, chicken carbon, or a combo carbon, all served family style.
Kids’ Menu and Desserts
Tio’s has a menu of kid-friendly options, including a Kid Cheese Enchilada, Quesadilla, Chicken Tenders, Grilled Cheese, Hamburger Plate, Fajita Taco, Crispy Taco Plate, and Puffy Queso Plate.
And don’t forget dessert! Tio’s offers traditional Mexican sweets like Mexican Flan, Sopapillas, Tres Leches, and Churros.
À la Carte and Sides
Sometimes you just need a little something extra. Tio’s offers individual items to complement your meal or satisfy a craving. You can order tamales by the piece, with or without chili gravy. We also offer single enchiladas—choose from cheese, beef, chicken, verde, or shrimp. And don’t forget our famous Golden Beef Taco!
Available sides include rice, refried beans, black beans, charro beans, fries, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Corn and flour tortillas are available by the dozen or half-dozen.
